Except for settlement of the Ruhr question, the conference has practically completed its work. It now remains only to put committees reports, which have been adopted by the council of 14, into the form of a protocol and to secure the allied and German signatures. The council of 14 decided to leave the Ruhr issue to direct negotiations among the French, Belgians and Germans.

The psychiatrist replied that his laboratory examinations had aided him in reaching his conclusions. "The absence ofugar in Leopold's kidneys," he said, "indicates to me that his pituitary gland is not functioning. That is mental."

Ball was given a thirty per cent rating by the governor on his record of supporting the governor in his tax reduction, efficiency and economy programs. The record, according to the governor, shows Ball is lined up 70 per cent with the progressive spendthrifts and the notorious wet politicians of San Francisco. Ball countered with the statement that Richardson's program had saved taxes for the state for the benefit of the big corporations and loaded new tax burdens on counties and cities. Ball said: "Thank heaven, I am not in favor of an economy that results in sacrificing the lives of neopleas, feeble minded girls. Think of Playa del Rey. Think of the economy that does away with sufficient funds to keep up inspection of such places." "Think of the economy that criples the state board of forestry to such an extent that a former governor, George C. Pardee, resigned from the board and predicted that the state's forest fires would increase."
